Like all trips away this one started with a journey, but in this case this was not a fast start.
– New years eve 2006 (1 / 20)
A smile that soon faded a touch when lunch was laid out, or should I say laid bare; a feast it was not.
– Lhasa to Kathmandu (2 / 20)
A day that can be summed up by a single activity - faffing.
– Haute route (3 / 20)
Most of Andy's clothes were gone, but what seemed of particular concern to him was his missing hair gel
– Lhasa to Kathmandu (4 / 20)
Now either they judged the size badly, or large is just a bit smaller in China but they soon got nicknamed the 'cheese wire' pants.
– Lhasa to Kathmandu (5 / 20)
With over 100 miles on the clock we finally made it to Dingwall and didn't even waste too much time finding the bed and breakfast which greeted us with smart rooms and a kitkat each - if ever we needed a break!
– Lands end to John O'groats (6 / 20)
With Steve "Beat ya" Wyatt the winner it turned out that there was only one real looser. Colin "Where's my wallet" Bolton had dropped his wallet
– Lhasa to Kathmandu (7 / 20)
Steve then followed this up with the idea that if we finished LeJog today we could go for a ride in the morning. Hugh, Duncan and I almost choked on our collective metaphorical false teeth, perhaps it was target fixation setting in but I think it would have taken quite some emergency to get us back in the saddle.
– Lands end to John O'groats (8 / 20)
A ceremonial robe which the guide told us had only been worn once, I instantly got into trouble for drawing some parallels with Eleanor's wardrobe
– South America (9 / 20)
Weighing in at a few kilos each we felt, and Steve "dog hater" Wyatt in particular, this was luggage allowance well spent.
– Lhasa to Kathmandu (10 / 20)
Russel went first and told us the water wasn't so bad. Frankly, he lied.
– South America (11 / 20)
While I inspected the rooms facilities for the terminally hungover Steve "Show me the leathers" Wyatt and Andy "Bigger is better" Cross went out to hire some motorbikes for the remaining few days we had in Nepal.
– Lhasa to Kathmandu (12 / 20)
With three hours we had some time to watch the world go by and in general it needed some repair work and a lick of paint.
– Eastern Europe (13 / 20)
0*2^0 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^3 + 0*2^4 + 1*2^5 = 2 + 8 + 32 = 42
– Wedding (14 / 20)
Besides, we once again had more vodka that water - quite a feat considering the number of opportunities we had had during the day to fill up but we had assumed that gastronomic delights awaited us.
– Iceland (15 / 20)
They gave us a drink and passed around an envelope for tips with the comment 'we can get a bigger one if you need it'
– South America (16 / 20)
A big day out was planned today. Planned but ultimately not executed
– Lhasa to Kathmandu (17 / 20)
No one should accuse the Inca's of not being thorough, we saw some examples of the heads of enermies which had had their brains pulled out, their eyes covered, the lips sewn up and a hole put in the head to thread them together
– South America (18 / 20)
I've been at a few nights when signing t-shirts has been a theme and I have to say that at each and every one of them the pen used was some sort of felt tipped pen. Andy on the other hand packed two biro's, so I must thank him for the lasting near tattoos that I had to remember the weekend by for several weeks after.
– Wedding (19 / 20)
Moreover the office that the guide book points you to no longer sells train tickets, but did not seem surprised to be asked once again. Rant over. For now.
– Eastern Europe (20 / 20)
